seeds of storytelling
|
Tell your story! This workshop will explore the basic elements of Moth-style storytelling using verbal, written, and illustration exercises. It is designed to teach you how to take personal experiences from your life and create material that connects with audiences. You will also learn techniques that lead to a real and truthful stage presence so that you can show how your unique perspectives can reveal the meanings behind your experiences.
This is a great chance for you to dip your toe into the Storytelling waters, or if you've already taken another storytelling class, here is another perspective with a dedicated focus on your story!
And come see Robert telling his own stories to inspire the improv later that night with 2nd Saturdays Presents!
Prerequisite: None! All are welcome.
